  • Expansionism at the Frick Collection: the Historic Cycle of Build, Destroy, Rebuild
    Expansionism at The Frick Collection: The Historic Cycle of Build, Destroy, Rebuild by Jacquelyn M. Walsh A thesis submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History Written under the direction of Michael J. Mills, FAIA And approved by __________________________ __________________________ __________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2016 © 2016 Jacquelyn M. Walsh ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Expansionism at The Frick Collection: The Historic Cycle of Build, Destroy, Rebuild by JACQUELYN WALSH Thesis Director: Michael Mills, FAIA This thesis contends that if landscape architecture is not accorded status equal to that of architecture, then it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to convey significance and secure protective preservation measures. The sensibilities and protections of historic landscape preservation designations, particularly with respect to urban landmarked sites, played a critical role in the recent debate surrounding The Frick Collection in New York City. In June 2014, The Frick Collection announced plans to expand its footprint on the Upper East Side. Controversy set in almost immediately, presenting the opportunity to discuss in this thesis the evolution of an historic institution’s growth in which a cycle of build, destroy and rebuild had emerged. The thesis discusses the evolving status of landscape preservation within urban centers, citing the Frick Collection example of historic landscape in direct opposition to architectural construction. Archival and scholarly materials, media reports, landmark decisions, and advocacy statements illustrate the immediacy and applicability of historic persons, architecture, decisions and designations to the present day.

  • Engineers' Club Building
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 22, 2011, Designation List 440 LP-2429 ENGINEERS’ CLUB BUILDING, 32 West 40th Street (aka 32-24 West 40th Street), Manhattan. Built 1905-07; Whitfield & King, architects. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 841, Lot 69. On November 16, 2010, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Engineers’ Club Building and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Public Hearing Item No. 1). One speaker, a representative of the Historic Districts Council, spoke in favor of the designation. There were no speakers in opposition to the designation. Summary The Engineers’ Club was founded in 1888 at a time when professional engineering was becoming increasingly important to the industrial and economic development of the United States. While the city was well supplied with professional and trade associations related to engineering, the Engineers’ Club was the first purely social organization founded in the United States for engineers or those connected to the field. Prominent members have included Andrew Carnegie, Herbert C. Hoover, Thomas Edison, Charles Lindbergh, Cornelius Vanderbilt, H.H. Westinghouse, and Nikola Tesla. While the club originally leased space in Midtown Manhattan, it began to plan for a larger, purpose-built clubhouse around the turn of the century, acquiring land facing Bryant Park and the future home of the New York Public Library (both New York City Landmarks). Around the same time, industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie offered the sum of $1 million for a separate project - the creation of a joint headquarters for New York City’s professional engineering clubs.

More than 300 objects, including historic and modern flatware from the museum’s permanent collection, will be featured in the one-floor exhibition, on view from May 5 through Oct. 29, 2006. “Feeding Desire” will offer a scholarly yet celebratory overview of the history of culinary culture, exploring the physical forms and social meanings of eating utensils and serving tools. Organized by Cooper-Hewitt’s Sarah Coffin, curator of 17th and 18th century decorative arts; Ellen Lupton, curator of contemporary design and guest curator Darra Goldstein, food historian and founding editor of Gastronomica magazine, “Feeding Desire” will showcase the museum’s extensive collection of flatware, cutlery and other accessories for the table, some of which will be on view for the first time in the museum’s history. The installation of the exhibition is being designed by AvroKO, a New York firm known for their innovative, concept-based architecture in the restaurant industry. “The culture of dining is an integral part of social history” said Cooper-Hewitt director Paul Warwick Thompson. “‘Feeding Desire’ will demonstrate how sharing food can be an expression of love and power, duty and honor, knowledge and taste.” SI-453-2005 2 East 91st Street New York NY 10128 www.cooperhewitt.org Cooper-Hewitt, housed in the landmark 1901 Andrew Carnegie Mansion, offers an ideal space in which to explore the culture of dining.
